Estate planning is often thought of as “a rich man’s plan for his things in the future.” However, estate planning should be thought of as something everyone does, everyone should do, and everyone with or without heirs needs to think about. Even if you are in your late twenties, you do not have a spouse or children, and you do not have anything that normally constitutes an “estate,” you should still be thinking about these things and planning for them.…

Are you in the process of getting divorced and facing child support payments? Or are you making child support payments to a former spouse? Child support is an important part of the divorce process because the payments limit the possibility that children will be financially impacted. However, payment amounts aren’t always fair.

About Me

The court system is something that every citizen needs to know more about, but unfortunately, a lot of the information needed to understand it isn’t easily accessible to the average person. As a law student, I’ve read law journals and in-depth case studies, and I’ve learned to understand and interpret the “legalese” that lawyers and officers of the court need to know to do their jobs. All of that information is valuable, but it can be tough to absorb. I want to make legal information available in laymen’s terms. Do you know what to say and do to avoid damaging a potential personal injury case, or how to negotiate with an insurance company after an accident? When do you need a lawyer, and when can you go it alone? Those are the types of questions that I hope to help you answer with this blog.
